I have had this problem as well, and it became increasingly difficult to find non-https domains so I started using one of my own sub-domain for it (I needed it on the dutch railway system). But recently, Ubuntu added a captive portals catcher and gives a small browser window to login (I think it tries to contact an Ubuntu sub-domain first to test the connection, you can turn it off if you want). This is very handy!
- zootboy 9y agoWhy is this a problem? Just mash some keys and add a .com to the end. The portal doesn't check if the domain is real or not, it just intercepts all DNS requests until you've logged in.
- Kliment 9y agoand for the rare cases of those that don't, you can tunnel data over dns
- Freak_NL 9y agoHeh, I've been doing the same thing for wifi in Arriva and NS trains. I haven't gotten around to making my own website HTTPS yet, so I just use that.
